Epidemic models for phase transitions: application to a physical gel
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017)
Carrageenan gels are characterized by reversible sol-gel and gel-sol transitions under cooling and heating processes and these transitions are approximated by generalized logistic growth curves. We express the transitions ...
Temperature Dependence of Oxygen Diffusion into Clay-Doped PS Films
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2010)
Fluorescence technique was employed for the measurement of the diffusion coefficient of oxygen into polystyrene (PS) latex/modified Na-activated bentonite (MNaLB) clay composite films. Three different MNaLB content (0 5 ...
Mechanical properties of graphene oxide-polyacrylamide composites before and after swelling in water
(Springer, 2018)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels have been proposed for use as promising biomaterials in biomedical and tissue engineering but their poor mechanical and water-retention properties have hindered their development. Graphene ...
Mathematical Characterization of Thermo-reversible Phase Transitions of Agarose Gels
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018)
The thermal phase transition temperatures of high (HMP) and low melting point (LMP) agarose gels were investigated by using UV-vis spectroscopy techniques. Transmitted light intensities from the gel samples with different ...
Surfactant and Metal Ion Effects on the Mechanical Properties of Alginate Hydrogels
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
This paper addresses the controlled variation of the mechanical properties of alginate gel beads by changing the alginate concentration or by adding different surfactants or cross-linking cations. Alginate beads containing ...
Tailoring The Electrical and Optical Properties of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Transparent Tio 2 Composites by Varying Nanotube Concentrations
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2019)
In the present work multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-doped TiO 2 nanocomposite films were synthesized by sol-gel method. The influence of nanotube concentration on the structural electrical and optical properties of ...
Gelation electrical conductivity and elasticity of PAM- MWNT
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2011)
Polyacrylamide- Multiwalled carbonnanotube (PAM- MWNT) composites were prepared via free radical crosslinking copolymerization with different amounts of MWNT varying in the range between 0.1 and 15 wt. %. PAM- MWNT composite ...
Study of Thermal Phase Transitions in Iota Carrageenan Gels via Fluorescence Technique
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)
The effect of carrageenan concentration on thermal phase transitions of the iota carrageenan gels was investigated by using fluorescence technique. During heating and cooling processes scattered light I(sc) and fluorescence ...
Thermal Phase Transitions of Agarose in Various Compositions: A Fluorescence Study
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2011)
The effect of agarose content on thermal phase transitions of the agarose gels was investigated by using Steady State Fluorescence (SSF) method. Scattered light I(sc) and fluorescence intensity I(fl) were monitored against ...
Diffusion energies of oxygen diffusing into polystyrene (PS)/poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) composites
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)
Diffusion coefficient of oxygen penetrating into polystyrene (PS) latex/poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel composite films were measured using Fluorescence technique. Three different (5 15 and 40wt%) PS content ...
